Alex Usher
Alex
Usher has collected and
performed folk songs for
over fifty years. She has
amassed a treasure trove of
songs that work well with
children, and used them
through the years to amuse
her own four children (who
later joined her and her
husband on the stage) as
well as to entertain
youngsters at the St. Louis
Children's Hospital where
she was the volunteer "Music
Lady" in the late 1970s. In
the early days of TV she was
a regular performer on
several children's series on
PBS Channel 9 in St. Louis.
(in one she was a
jack-in-the-box who popped
out and did a song and a
dance in each episode!) She
still shares her music with
her grandchildren and their
classmates.
More recently she has
specialized in playing the
autoharp as a solo
instrument. Mel Bay's Basic
Melodic Autoharp Solos is
her contribution to helping
folks teach themselves this
art. She is a National
Autoharp Champion, a
four-time winner in the
International Competition at
the Walnut Valley Festival
in Winfield KS, and has made
several solo autoharp CDs in
the last several years.
Currently she does a program
of folk songs called
"Hand-me-down Music" for the
Missouri Humanities Council,
and gives many other
performances, primarily in
the St. Louis area.
